Transmission fluid

Hello all, I was wondering how fast transmission fluid heats up in your car. I saw a lot of stuff saying if your tranny fluid gets this hot you only have a few thousand more miles to drive with that fluid. I was wondering what it takes to get the fluid to 240 degrees or even higher?

Usually once the car warms up. Normal operating temps should be between 195-210^F . 240 F is too hot. Are you having issues with yours? Don't put off having a trans shop inspect it, you don't want to be stranded. The Mini's use a CVT if you have an automatic.
